#50 - Chuck Marohn, StrongTowns
About this episode
Chuck Marohn discusses the financial insolvency of cities and advocates for a new approach to urban planning through StrongTowns.
Chuck Marohn is a civil engineer, urban planner, and the founder of StrongTowns: an organization that has been shaking up the world of planning, development, and local governance with one powerful idea: that many of our cities, especially in North America, are financially insolvent by design. Through his books, lectures, and relentless advocacy, he’s exposed the hidden fragility of car-centric growth and championed a new, bottom-up approach to building places that are financially strong, resilient, and deeply human.
